Aims and Scope of Adv Clin Exp Med
General information
Bridging science, care, and implementation
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine (Adv Clin Exp Med) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that highlights the full translational pathway of biomedical research – from laboratory discoveries (“bench”), through clinical application (“bedside”), to real-world practice and policy (“implementation”). The journal welcomes original research articles, reviews/meta-analyses, clinical recommendations/guidelines, research-in-progress reports, research letters, and study protocols authored by recognized experts in the fields of clinical and experimental medicine.
By embracing this translational continuum, Adv Clin Exp Med serves as a platform for studies that not only advance scientific knowledge but also demonstrate a clear potential for improving patient outcomes and healthcare systems. We particularly value contributions that bridge gaps between experimental insights, clinical trials, and the implementation of evidence-based practices in diverse medical settings, especially those developed by international, multi-center research teams.
The journal is published monthly (12 issues per year), with articles typically available online ahead of print.
Indexed in major databases including Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citation Reports), and Index Copernicus, the journal maintains a strong international presence. Its current 5-year Impact Factor is 2.0 (2024) and CiteScore 4.3. Articles published in the journal are worth 70 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 171.00 points (for 2023) according to the Index Copernicus.

History of the journal
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. The originator, organizer and first editor-in-chief of the journal (1992–1997) was Prof. Bogumił Halawa. The journal, then entitled Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej, appeared quarterly. Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997–1999. In 1998, he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal, which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English began to appear in the journal. Several outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff. Professor Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in the years 2000–2005, in the years 2006–2007, once again, Prof. Leszek Paradowski and Prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak were editor-in-chief in the years 2008–2016. In the years 2017–2020, the editor-in chief was Prof. Maciej Bagłaj, and since 2020, Prof. Donata Kurpas.
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine received in the years 2023–2024 financial support from the resources of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education within the “Social Responsibility of Science – Support for Academic Publishing” project based on agreement No. RCN/SP/0584/2021.
